Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 324
Zhang Yixian listened to Li Ruolian's words, although the emperor was very angry and ordered Jin Yiwei to handle the case strictly, but he meant to hold it up high and put it down gently. The usual style of leaving a bad name.But it was Li Ruolian who wanted to take the opportunity to implicate himself. While secretly relieved in his heart, he also threatened with both soft and hard methods.

In Zhang Yixian's and the usual thinking and cognition of people in the Ming Dynasty's official circles, Li Ruolian's so open clamor for wantonly implicating people is actually just trying to take the opportunity to blackmail a huge sum of money.In addition to implying that if the involvement is too serious, there may be a possibility of causing chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, he also emphasized that he hopes that the two imperial envoys will handle the strike case impartially.This so-called impartial handling is to end the strike case and not to extend it to the high-level officials in Nanjing. At that time, the officials and gentry in Nanjing will be rewarded generously, and they will cooperate and obey in matters of business and taxation.

Li Ruolian smiled slightly, and further threatened: "Zhang Zhenshou may not know something. The essence of the case of Yang Su Sifu's instigation of civil unrest is not far from conspiracy. I added a few words to the report and submitted some evidence. What do you think will happen after the emperor receives the report? If the imperial decree arrives in Nanjing again, I am afraid that there will be a large army accompanying him. Under the sharp knife, in the downtown area of ​​Nanjing I'm afraid it will kill people! As for the unforeseen disaster you mentioned, hehe, not to mention thousands of captains and warriors, I brought three hundred Tiqi from the capital this time, and Zhang Zhenshou is also an old man in the palace. You can see what the most elite members of our pro-army look like! As for the cavalry of the Beijing camp accompanying the constitutional guard, it is not polite to say that only two hundred cavalry can sweep Nanzhili! And the constitutional government has something in common with this official , that means that fame and fortune are not valued above all else, and I am here to thank Nanjing for the kindness of the constitution-making officials, hehehehe!"

After hearing the words, Zhang Yixian gave a cold snort and stopped talking, but glanced at Zhao Zhilong who was in the first place.

Zhao Zhilong, who had been pondering the meaning of Li Ruolian's words, did not notice the meaning conveyed by Zhang Yixian. Several people in the hall were deep in thought, and the scene seemed a little deserted for a while.

What puzzled Zhao Zhilong was that according to Li Ruolian's rhetoric and tough attitude, if he really wanted to carry out a big cleansing in the city of Nanjing, he could just go and arrest people, why bother talking nonsense to the two of them here?Does Jin Yiwei need to inform others and ask for the consent of outsiders?Never.

Zhao Zhilong is well aware of Jin Yiwei's methods, if they want to take you, let alone have evidence, even if they don't have evidence, they can make it for you.

Li Ruolian also said just now that this case is very close to treason. If a few things are added out of nothing in the report, and then some forged evidence is sent to the capital, the emperor will be concerned about his reputation, but once it involves treason, he will definitely There will also be a lot of killings.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhilong opened his mouth to break the silent atmosphere on the field, he got up and saluted Li Banghua: "Dong Meng An, can you take a step to speak?"

Li Banghua hesitated for a while and was about to refuse, but he thought that the identity of the other party was there. If he refused, it would be against the regulations. In the end, he stood up and followed Zhao Zhilong to the outside of the hall.

"Meng An Gong, this uncle and Zhang Zhenshou are not considered outsiders. Zhang Zhenshou came from the palace. Needless to say, this uncle is also a family member who died with the country. No matter how this matter is dealt with, the two of us will stand on the side of the two imperial envoys. Because of this, Ben Bo wants to hear the truth from Mr. Meng An, how the two of you want to deal with this incident Satisfied just now?"

The two came to the side of the house and saw that there was no one else in the courtyard except the guards on duty at the gate, Zhao Zhilong asked earnestly.

Seeing the attitudes of Li Banghua and Li Ruolian just now, how could he fail to see that one is a good face and the other is a bad face?Since the black face scenes have been done enough, it's time to make the red face show.

After Li Banghua paused for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Although Li Zhenfu envoy Li's words were a bit exaggerated just now, as far as I know, it is true that some senior officials in Nanjing were involved in the riots in the four prefectures. And Li Zhenfu envoy He was born in the emperor's own army, and this time he is also an imperial envoy. If Li Zhenfu insists on getting involved and making meritorious deeds, this official has no right to restrain him. He can only wait and see what happens. As for the capital I don’t know what’s going on here. According to Li Zhenfu, he has reported the situation and plans here to the palace, and the imperial decree may arrive in Nanjing soon!”

Li Banghua couldn't understand what he meant.

Li Ruolian does have evidence that some officials in Nanjing have committed crimes, and they are not controlled by the foreign court. If Li Ruolian wants to flatter him, I have no right to stop him. Although I do not agree with his approach, I can only look at Nanjing. It is up to you to decide whether to mediate.

Whether the emperor agrees with Li Ruolian's approach is still unknown, and he can only wait for the news from the capital.

"Since that's the case, I will leave with Zhang Zhenshou first. It's just that Nanjing and its surrounding areas have been the most prosperous and stable places in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and they are also the source of food for the court. We really can't let them create chaos, and we hope that Meng An will take care of the overall situation." The most important thing is, don't move lightly!"

Li Banghua nodded slowly, and the two returned to the house, and after exchanging a few unnutritious words, Zhang Yixian and Zhao Zhilong bid farewell and left.

At this time, all the main intersections in Nanjing City have been controlled by Captain Jinyi, and the Sanbaitiqi brought by Li Ruolian, in teams of 30 people, patrolled the main streets on horseback.

Pedestrians and vendors on the street were startled by this unprecedented scene. After the shock, they all whispered to each other, guessing what happened.

After the scholars and merchants who had seen the world knew the clothes of these warriors and told others, everyone knew that these heavily armed warriors were Jinyiwei from the capital.

Fortunately, these Jinyiwei patrolling the station street did not harass pedestrians and shops in any way, but only carried out this warning in units of small flags or teams, so it didn't take long for the residents and merchants who were originally afraid to get used to this kind of behavior. Scenes.

However, the yamen of major ministries such as the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing exploded.

Because the figure of Captain Jinyi had already appeared in some department offices, this made many officials who had ghosts in their hearts suddenly worried and frightened.

In the official room of the Yayou Shilang, Xu Wenyuan and Lu Henian, the official secretary of the Qing Dynasty, were sitting opposite each other.The sudden appearance of Captain Jinyi outside the Yamen completely confused Xu Wenyuan, who was already worried. Lu Henian, who was closest to him, also looked pale, and his usual arrogance disappeared without a trace.

"Minister, could it be that Zhang Zhenshou and Uncle Xin's mediation didn't work? That Li Mengan didn't even give them face? Otherwise, why did the factory guard show up? Could it be that Jiao Yunfeng and others bit the minister and Xiaguanpan Can’t come out? What should I do! Alas!”

Lu Henian, who was sighing and sighing, was completely lost. All he could think about was the scene of himself screaming and screaming under various tortures after he was arrested and imprisoned.

"Don't panic in Meicun, this matter is not as bad as you think! If the factory guard wanted to take you and me, he would have rushed straight into the yamen, so why hang around outside the yamen? Zhang Zhenshou and Xin Chengbo must be fighting with each other. Li Meng is negotiating secretly, the ending may not be so bad and I can't say it!"

Xu Wenyuan's words were not so much comforting Lu Henian as comforting himself, but his analysis also made sense. If Jin Yiwei wanted to get them, he would have already swarmed in, so why wait outside the Yamen?

After Lu Henian heard the words, his nervousness and fear eased a little, and a little blood returned to his face.

"Minister, but since they came, they must have obeyed the order, but why have they been waiting outside the Yamen? What is the reason for such abnormal behavior?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Henian's worry did not subside after all, and he still couldn't help asking.

"Meicun, my generation has read the books of sages and sages. It is said that every major event is calm. You have been an official for many years. What kind of big scene have you never seen? Why are you so restless? I expect Zhang Zhenshou and Xin Chengbo After returning from Li Meng's dark place, the truth will be revealed! Just wait!"

Xu Wenyuan replied in a slightly impatient tone.

Lu Henian stopped talking, but pondered in his heart, if he was really arrested by Jin Yiwei, how to push the blame to Xu Wenyuan as much as possible, so as to reduce the punishment he faced.

Time passed slowly amidst the anxiety of many people.At ten o'clock at noon, Zhang Yixian sent people to send a message, asking senior officials of all temples and above to go to the garrison eunuch's office to discuss matters immediately. After receiving the message, Xu Wenyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. After comforting Lu Henian, he immediately went out After entering the official office, he got into the official sedan chair, followed by several captains in Jinyi all the way down to the garrison eunuch's office.
